These pranks are a great way to teach critical thinking to impressionable youth, I don’t think we give 4chan enough credit for the valuable work they do.
Hmm, if I put my phone in the microwave then it should become a microphone! I’m a jeenyus!
I’m watching this video on VLC on my phone and the way it goes back to the Lemmy app is very trippy, as if the glitching extended beyond the video…
Would flash memory survive in a microwave? How has she managed to get this footage to post if the camera died?
Could be live streaming it
Aren’t microwaves Faraday cages? Can a phone get a signal out of one?
Plus 2.4 GHz wifi and 2.45 GHz microwaves might interfere with each other.
I think 5ghz could pass
The front is glass.
If you ever feel stupid, just remember… people like this do exist
Faraday cages don’t work how you think they do op
If signals can get out so can microwaves and microwaves wouldn’t even be allowed on the market
It’s more logical that the video is fake and that microwave has been modified and they are just providing external power to the lights and turntable, yes the door switch for the lights can be included in a modified circuit
Does that mean my microwave is defective when the music I’m listening to on my bluetooth headphones gets interrupted when I stand close to it while it’s on? Is that dangerous for me?
There is a small amount of leakage expected but that should be below the safe limit
If you’re worried you can check the grid on the door for any holes and dont have anything in between the door and the microwave body as that might compromise the seal
What distance are you standing from the microwave ?
Idk if it’s dangerous but it doesn’t sound good.
It’s normal, no microwave holds the beam 100% in the box.
Just remember that there is also beam forming in microwaves. It doesn’t have to be 100% Farady cage, 5 out of 6 sides is enough.
hmmmmm i wonder what the metal mesh in the glass panel does hmmmmmmmmmm what could it possibly be for hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
It is for that, but it’s not 100% fullproof. You don’t believe me? Try it. Put your phone in a plugged off microwave, see if the wifi and network drop to 0.
whenever I feel stupid I just remember that it took Kirk Cameron 15 years to think “but what if water instead of trees”
Do you mean James Cameron?
I think Kirk Cameron was the one that thought “bananas prove god”. If you can be generous enough to call that a thought.
He reminds me of the guy who put the camera in the washing machine

A good way to go viral like this is to go to Walmart pick up a $20 smart phone and act like you just cooked your real phone…
That reminds me, it’s time for another full wipe.
